You know the address, the date and you\u2019ve even RSVP-ed. But what\u2019s next? You\u2019ve got no idea what to wear or how much you should give, and you\u2019re officially starting to panic.<\/p> <p>Well, take a deep breath, calm down and read on as we answer some of your burning questions because like most wedding ceremonies, it\u2019s all about celebrating the union of two lovebirds. Perhaps the only difference here would be that Chinese weddings are marked with customs and carries its own traditions \u2013 unlike any other ethnic weddings we\u2019ve seen.<\/p> <h2> <span>What's the difference between the\u00a0tea ceremony and wedding banquet?<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Don\u2019t get confused between the two because they\u2019re essentially not the same. Chinese weddings first start off\u00a0with a tea ceremony in the morning, followed by a dinner banquet in the evening \u2013 all of which happens in the same day.<\/p> <p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/food\/recipes-and-products\/weekly-recipes\/tea-o-clock-5-delicious-afternoon-tea-recipes-try-108813.html#post-108813\">tea<\/a> ceremony\u00a0involves both bride and groom serving tea to honour and respect their seniors. The parents or elders would then graciously accept the tea to show how they have welcomed\u00a0their new son or daughter-in-law, and reward them with <em>ang baos <\/em>(red packet) as a blessing for good fortune. This is first done at the bride\u2019s home, followed by the groom\u2019s and is normally attended by close friends and relatives.<\/p> <p>Moments before a couple heads to their wedding banquet, there would be a change in outfits. Expect to see the bride donning the most stunning gown you\u2019ve ever laid eyes upon, and the groom in a handsome suit. The newlyweds\u2019 parents would then walk the couple through every table to introduce and get them acquainted with distant relatives and friends.<\/p> <h2> <span>How many people will there be?<\/span> <\/h2> <p>It depends if the wedding is held at a restaurant or a hotel ballroom. The latter is usually the more common option amongst couples, so you can easily expect about 200 to 300 people, who are immediate family and friends and colleagues of the bride and groom.<\/p> <h2> <span>What type of food will be served?<\/span> <\/h2> <p>At least an eight course dinner consisting of famous Chinese delicacies (think abalone, roasted duck and lobsters). Also, you\u2019ll find that after attending a fair share of these weddings, some of the dishes served are the same and here's why. The\u00a0Mandarin translation of these dishes hold a special meaning - they embody blessings of either happiness, prosperity or fertility for the couple and their marriage.<\/p> <h2> <span>What colours should I avoid wearing?<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Black and white are considered to be a symbol of death and mourning, so it\u2019s best to steer away from them. Also, red is deemed a lucky <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/fashion\/serial-shopper\/get-look-calvin-klein-collections-three-colour-combo-108513.html#post-108513\">colour <\/a>and the bride has to wear it at some point of the wedding banquet. Unless you want to find yourself stealing the bride\u2019s thunder, we say go for vibrant spring shades instead - pink, orange or green are your best bet.<\/p> <h2> <span>What gift do I get?<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Boxed gifts are customary for some weddings, but if you would like to offer one, make sure you're aware of the taboos. Majority of the Chinese are superstitious and big believers of unlucky homonyms. Think twice if you\u2019d like to gift them with items like fans (which would be akin to the curse of seperation because its mandarin translation\u00a0sounds like the word \u2018disperse\u2019) and clocks (which symbolises death). To avoid offending the happy couple, stick to <em>ang baos<\/em> (red packet) that typically come in red and gold, signifying longevity and a blessed marriage.<\/p> <h2> <span>How much should I give in an ang bao?<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Any amount makes for an excellent gift. However, avoid numbers that start or end with 4 (i.e. SGD4, SGD40, SGD400, SGD404) at all costs as the mandarin translation\u00a0of the words \u2018four\u2019 and \u2018death\u2019 are a pair of homonyms. On the contrary, numbers 8 and 9 are auspicious as they represent fortune. Keep in mind to apply the rule to other gifts as well. Eight sets of dinner ware? Perfect!<\/p> <h2> <span>Don\u2019t make a toast without the words \u201cYam Seng\u201d or \u201cGan Bei\u201d<\/span> <\/h2> <p>After\u00a0every wedding speech, a toast will be made to the bride and groom to wish them a happy marriage. Similar to the term \u201ccheers\u201d, it is said that the louder you say these words and the longer you drag them, the longer and more blissful the couple's marriage will be. So don\u2019t be afraid to shout these magic words as loud as you can.<\/p> <p>At the end of the day, these rules are not set in stone so it's best to\u00a0ask\u00a0in advance if there are any customs they would like their guests to respect.\u00a0But other than\u00a0that, go on and eat your heart out, toast loud and dance, because there\u2019s no better way to show your excitement for the happy couple than to thoroughly enjoy the occasion!<\/p> <p><em>Jinghui Lee<\/em><\/p> <p><em>Photo:\u00a0Synchronal Photography<\/em><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not a single clue on what to expect at your first Chinese wedding?
